Concept is nice but I think it would be best if it was halloween restricted item

FREE UNUSUAL!!!!

If Valve could be persuaded to bring back permanently applicable Halloween cosmetic spells, I could see them allowing this as a Halloween spell for cosmetics that creates a paintable "trail" anchored to the item it's applied to, similar to the Halloween-restricted glowing footprint trails.

Or just make it an actual Unusual effect, trailing green ghost flames or ghost mist?

Wait, so this is a hat with a glowing trail particle effect that *looks* like an Unusual, without actually *being* an Unusual? And the trail is even paintable along with the hat?? o_O

That's... certainly a novel idea, and it looks damn cool, not gonna lie.

But I'm not sure Valve will want to open *that* can of worms by creating a precedent? As it would open the floodgates for more modellers to create more cosmetics with animated glow or flame effects (Overwatch and Fortnite style) that aren't actual Unusuals but could also have additional Unusual effect applied to it on top of it. The trading community would throw a fit, too.

Yes, I know there are a few cosmetic items with build-in particle effects, like cigar smoke or music notes emanating from headphones, but those effects are not very visible.

cool effect

Either an unusual or a cosmetic, pick one

Huh, interesting. A bit out there, but undeniably really cool

waiter waiter, deadlock slop please

agree with pop

I personally would like it more if it wasn't a constantly pulsing trail but more permanently visible. The ghost smoke just fading out without it leaving a small bit of light (i.e. with a scrolling texture) just doesn't look right in my opinion. Pretty cool otherwise.

I don’t think you can execute something this well as an unusual effect on its own.

I enjoy the hat and the effect on their own, although I think having the effect just as part of the hat essentially makes it a glorified unusual; the idea is cool and your execution is great, I just feel it would be better for the two to be their own things as to not take away from actual unusual hats.

Practically free customizable unusual with hat that versatile enough for many combos. Approve.

Reminds me of the Ghost effects from Sea of Thieves. HUGE APPROVAL

Thought this was an unusual effect at first, that is so damn cool

Cant get an unusual? just build it directly into your hat! now thats engineering

you are in bro

We're entering a new era.

Too good to be true

the emporium could never

Whoa

Cool idea, but I have concerns of how it'd mesh with unusuals

so sick

you are in bro

I thought that was an Unusual Effect for a second.
